Heroes in Color

I want to create a collection of images that create an iconic and heroic feel, even if the subject is not necessarily famous and or heroic. Anyone can be an icon, everyone can look like a hero, and I want to create portraits that can make the average person look like one of Mannion's superstars. Although a lot of the mood board is in BW, I want to shoot in color, using the palettes of the color photos below.
